TITANIUM DRUZY - a filigree brooch
Often when I browsed on the internet, titanium druzy were bound in a simple bezel with silver or gold. Or when using wire work, it was only a simple bezel with a few swirls added.
When I saw this titanium druzy I was so amazed by its beauty... then when I put it in my hands, I knew immediately what I wanted to do with it. I wanted to make a brooch with lots of swirls and filigrees. And I deliberately used gun metal colored wire so the titanium druzy can stand out against the dark wire. Wire stitching technique were used for the crystals around the stone.
Once completed, this brooch was more beautiful than what I had visioned ... and I really love it.
It looks so vintage and rich with details... I think this is yet my best piece so far... =)
Thank you so much for looking.....
